In this middle school science investigation, students figure out how someone can change what the wave in a battle rope looks like during fitness training.
The Waves in Battle Ropes kit includes all the materials that students will need to design and carry out an investigation.
Each kit contains enough materials for eight groups of students.
Materials Included
- Springs
- String
- Cloth Tape Measures
- Stopwatches
